About Introducing Happiness

Introducing Happiness is a 1995 album by Rheostatics. The album includes "Claire", the band's only Top 40 hit. That song is also featured on the Whale Music soundtrack album. Introducing Happiness was the band's second and final album for Sire Records. Sire found the band's quirky indie rock too quirky and too indie to market effectively despite having a Top 40 hit, and dropped the band from the label. It was also Dave Clark's last album with the band. Following this album, he left to concentrate on The Dinner Is Ruined, and was replaced for the next several years by Don Kerr.

Introducing happiness.
Happy, yes!

Look who's found you.
Look who stole you from your nest...
And in theiving, we stole you from an icy death.
November's cold and lonely here,
But not at home and I'm so happy
I could make you happy.

Introducing happiness.

What do I owe you,
Or do you owe me more?
A better deal than this
There's never been before.
I must appear a mess to
Have to write a song about you.
You make me...

Introducing all this love into our house.
While your brother lives with mother
And your sister loves it in Upstate New York (on a farm).

When I see you
Throw the kitchen window wide,
I take a second to thank you.
I feel so good inside.
Although I go away sometimes,
I take your picture in my mind
So when I'm yards and yards away
I am reminded not to stray.
Unless I've climbed the tallest tree.
Only that will keep me.

Introducing happiness.
Introducing happiness.
Introducing...you.
